NBA Finals remote patrol: ABC's Jeff Van Gundy, Michael Wilbon say Kevin Durant fouled on key play

“At that angle, there is no question it was a foul,” game analyst Jeff Van Gundy said.

Several of the ABC studio analysts agreed. “It was a foul,” Michael Wilbon said. “Once, twice, that's a foul, period. Go to the line. Should have been shooting two.”

Magic Johnson said: “It definitely was a foul. But at the end of the day this is what happens when you're not the aggressive team, and when you don't set the tone for the game, you don't get the call... They didn't lose the game on the foul. They lost the game in the first quarter.”

The definitive comments came from former referee Steve Javie, who called two NBA Finals game last year before retiring with a bad knee. Javie noted the official was out of position to make the call.

“He didn't have the right angle to see the foul,” Javie said. “He was looking at Kevin Durant's left shoulder where LeBron fouled him on the right side. … Nobody feels worse then the official himself. The officials did a wonderful job tonight. Unfortunately, this play at the end happened.”

ABC's cameras again didn't miss a shot as the Heat collected what Wilbon called its biggest playoff victory ever.

Johnson applauded James for a strong fourth quarter. “LeBron dominated and he finally closed,” he said. “This was good for him.”

Westbrook bashed

At halftime, Johnson blasted Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook with all his guns blazing.

“That was the worst point guard performance in a championship finals I've ever seen,” Johnson said. “He was too wild. He was taking off-balance shots. You got to come out and set the tone with Kevin Durant.”
